SCHEME TO ENSURE CONTINUANCE
STEAMER SERVICE TO CHATHAM ISLANDS (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 27. A scheme to ensure the continuance of steamer communication between the Chatham Islands and Lyttelton will be completed next week, said the Minister of Marine (the Hon. .D. G. McMillan) in reply to a question today. “The Westland Shipping Company, which owns the Tees, the vessel used on this run for many years, has gone into liquidation,” he said. “The Tees is tied up as is usual during the winter. “The Government realies that the service to the Chatham Islands must be kept going,” said Mr McMillan, “and it is investigating proposals that will ensure its continuance. I hope to have the arrangements completed next week.”
